it was not put in to the house version of sandy. so, no, we cannot move money we already have to address the needs and deficiencies that the arb has recommended we do. >> well, i would just echo the comments that have been made already by this committee and by you that this is action that we need to get moving on immediately because we still have people at risk around the world and we need to take the action that's going to ensure their security. so i would certainly urge the committee to do whatever we can to make this happen. i want to go back to something that secretary nibe said. because i asked him about the connection between the department of state and what the situation was on the ground before the benghazi attack in terms of the placement of our military in the region. he talked about the unprecedented cooperation between state and defense in response to benghazi. but i wonder if you could talk about how we ensure that this is a standard way of doing business and that we're acting in cooperation when we're looking at the th

we were able to get that included in the senate version of the sandy supplemental that passed on december 28th. we were unable to get that included in the house version. this is not new money. first and foremost i would appreciate this committee working with the counterpart to give us this transfer authority. otherwise we are going to be behind the curve again. secondly i think it's important to change the laws about best value contracting versus lowest price technically qualified. by statute the state department guard contracts in dangerous places like libya and everywhere except iraq and afghanistan must be awarded using a lowest price technically acceptable selection process. we have requested a change in the legislation that would allow us to use some discretion to try to deal with the varieties of the local guard forces. we currently have it in afghanistan and pakistan, but it's going to expire. that's something else that i would ask the committee to look into. finally the point that the chairman made and you echoed, congressman, an authorization, i was on the armed serf service comm

the senate was good enough to put it into the senate version of the sandy supplemental. it did not get into the house side. we're still looking for the house to act. with respect to mali, there was a country that had been making progress on its democracy and unfortunately it suffered a military coup by low ranking military officers, which threw it into a state of instability. with the tore regs, some groups as well as other groups had been in the employ of gadhafi for year and used them as mercenaries with his fall they came out of libya bringing huge amounts of weapons from the enormous stores of weapons that gadhafi had that insurgents liberated as well as others. and they came into northern mali at the same time there was a move by al qaeda to establish a base in northern mali. we have been working to try to upgrade security around northern mali among a number of the countries, algeria is the only one with any real ability to do that. most of these countries do have the capacity to do that. we are now trying to help put together an african force so that african soldie

. >> reporter: after the trauma of the sandy hook massacre the urgent call to limit americans' easy access to guns has met with some stiff resistance and exposed america's cultural divide over firearms. the president offered 23 different executive actions which would strengthen background checks, better address the issue of mental health and call for armed officers in schools that want them, but the politics of gun legislation are fraught with danger for the president. there are 24 senate seats up for grabs in 2014 including in the gun friendly states of arkansas, new hampshire, iowa, louisiana and south dakota which suggest any gun control measures will have to be a compromise. >> everyone is trying to divert from the core issue which is there is a huge consensus in the country including a vast majority of republicans that things like assault weapons, high capacity magazines, universal background checks, making progress on mental health, these are things we should and can do to help reduce gun violence. >> i think this is a moment we can do something about mental health, about information

stuart: it was closed because of hurricane sandy? >> there was 15,000 gallons of water in the basement. it was closed. close to a million people a year get their care there in some way shape or form. inpatient or outpatient. they had no access to care. they had no emergency services. they had nowhere to deliver their babies. no one thought our medical center could reopen in just less than two short months. stuart: but you did it yourself, i mean the people who worked there, did it. >> absolutely. stuart: did they get a big subsidy from the government? did they get fema help? >> they got help but didn't get anything sufficient with what they needed to reopen the medical center. the dean told me, dr. grossman, that the key was the spirit, the teamwork. it was courage. it was people saying i need a place to work. i need to be able to see my patients again. that's the kind of entrepreneurial spirit we talk about on this program all the time. that's what got the medical center reopened way in advance of what people thought. you saw it on
